For instance, whenever you’re called on to get up a ramp, chances are that you’re either going off the end at least once, at certain points climbing these inclines is timed, which means the game can get a bit frustrating. It’s also a fair bit harder to get your bird to go through some of the tighter gaps at times. It’s really easy to accidentally upend your bird, ruining your score multiplier as well as your momentum. I'm like 99% percent sure that the skateboard isn't supposed to be going through me like that.Ĭonsequently, it takes a fair bit of getting used to if you really want to do well in SkateBIRD.

So all in all, if you’ve played a Pro Skater game at all in your life, this will feel pretty familiar. The only key difference in terms of actual buttons is that you hold a face button to manual, rather than tapping a combination of the direction buttons. All of the face buttons are all the same for a start, and you spine transfer in a pretty similar way too.

In terms of gameplay, SkateBIRD has controls that are suspiciously similar to Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. It was really hard for my skatebird to hear this guy's existential terror over how rad that scarf, hat, and science goggles combo is. There’s no real explanation as to why exactly it is that you and the other birds can skate, but this isn’t the sort of game where the answer is likely to matter. One day you notice that your ‘big friend’ hasn’t been feeling so great lately, so you and the other birds decide to use your skateboarding prowess to try and make them feel better. While other secret skaters are yet to be seen, there’s sure to be more as Glass Bottom Games continues to make more Skatebird updates.In SkateBIRD, you control your own custom-made Avian extreme sports enthusiasts. Each come customizable, just like the birds with their own added flair racing down the skateparks. One revealed in the Skatebird trailer is the eponymous Among Us crewmate who slides in with their own cosmetics. In the spirit of Tony Hawk Pro Skater that inspired the game.

With that in mind, this new update also brings some secret characters. A brand new course to skate in is a great addition to the already expansive base release that showcased the scale of space birds are more comfortable with. While the release is the first big update since the 1.0 launch just 8 months ago, it’s a great support update into the first year of the launch. Why Does The Skatebird 1.7 Update Include An Among Us Crewmate Cameo? As part of the Wholesome Direct showcasing a slew of upcoming games, the Skatebird 1.7 update launches today with new cosmetics and even an Among Us crewmate cameo.

However, it seems that Glass Bottom Games is returning to the title with a brand new free update launching today.

For the retail price of $20, the game certainly has quite a lot to keep many fans that like to finish objectives or tune a high score. Yet, since release, the title hasn’t received too much post-launch support. Ranging from skating to sandbox, many fans were intrigued by the simulation title. Instantly recognizable as a remix of Tony Hawk Pro Skater appeal, the title drew in a large audience of players. For instance, Glass Bottom Games, who released Skatebird last September. These radical new games often spurn into creating their own representation of a classic video game format. Bringing together and meshing new and unique ideas are quite commonly found through indie game development spaces. Indie titles are often some of the most creative outlets in the gaming industry.
